.10 to make and use vthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. My invention relates to an improvement in coffee percolators shown vin the accompanying drawings and more particularly set forth in the following specification and claims.

Oneof the objects of my invention'l is to provide a device simple in construction and operation, preferably formed of glass, and

.which may be readily cleaned. s One feature vof the invention consists in providing a fluid containerv adapted to be suspended above a spirit lamp by a detachable supporting member, havinga pivoted connection with a standard rising from the base plate of the devicez-the supporting member serving as a handle for the fluid container `when disconnected from the I standard.

Another feature of the invention is the handle clamping member engaging the neck of the fluid container. lAnother feature of `40 catiorfr-Figure 1, is -a perspective view of broken away and the device with a portion in section. Fig. 2, is a longitudinal vertical i sectional view through the funnel. Fig. 3,

is a perspective Fig. 4, is a perspective-view of vthe strainer supporting ring.' Fig. 5, isa perspective view of the strainer with the ring-in place. Fig. 6, is a perspective view of one member of the supporting clamp and handle,

ter being partially broken away. Fig. 7 1s a perspective view of the co-acting member' of the clamp.

Referring now to the letters of reference Speeiiication of Letters Patent.

TASK, citizen the invention is the' 35 means employed for securing the spirit lamp view of the iuid container and its supporting handle.A

placed upon-the drawings A, is a suit? able base formed of metal, wood or other vmaterial from which rises a standard B, having a dowel-pin B', von its upper end, 'adapted 4to'enter a socket in the lower ,end of the handle C. The upper end of the hanelle C, is provided with. an arcuate-shaped portion C', adapted to partially embrace the neck of the fluid coffee containing vessel. .(32, is a co-acting arcuate-shaped member hinged to the member C, by a pin c, projecting through therespective members. D, is a thumb-screw engaging the member C', 'adapted to clampthe neck of the container.

vc', is a lining of cork or other suitable material adaptedl to bearl upon the neck of.

the container.

E, is a globe-shapedcontainer preferably formed of glass having a neck E', embraced by the members C and C',and with a pro- .jectmg 11p E2, for convemence 1n pouring the liquid. v

F,is a funnel preferably formedof glass, the hollow stem of which projects down to a point relatively near the bottom of the container F', is an upwardly projecting annular rim encircling the opening through the stem of the funnel. Y l

F2, is a rubber` thimble surrounding the stem of the funnel directly below the bowl, to insure a tight joint between the funnel and n'eck of the fluid container when assembled, and to provide against breakage at this point. Y

Gr, is a strainer preferably formed of fabric secured to a divided spring ring G', adapted to embrace the annular `rim'F of thefunnel.'`

H, indicates a spirit lamp having a projecting iange h, lodged in a recess formed in the baseplate A of the device. -The iiange la, is preferably constructed with one or 'more notches h', to admit the ears A',

formed integral with the base plate, projecting over the recessed depression pro# vided vfor the reception of the lamp H.

"I, is anexti'nguisher hinged to the neck oftheflamp having a rod or handlel', forV manuallyfswinging the extinguisher on its ivot bearing;-'the operation of which will e readily'understood.v

J; denotesj a cover for the funnel F, provided with an opening J', for'the escape of steam, and-by means of which the cover may be easily removed.

Having indicated the several parts by reference letters the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood.

The globe E, is first secured to the handle C, y means of the clamping device D, and Y lled withrsuilicient water to supply the ,re-

the globe, it will gradually ascend the neck of the funnel into its upper portion per-- lneating the co'ee therein contained. The

coiee .should then be stirred to prevent it from clogging the strainer, that the Water may freely circulate through the mass. The device is then swung on the dowel-pin or pivot B', removing'it from the action of the v.

flame, whereupon the Water'within the funv nel will immediately return tothe globe be- Leoeei low. rlhe funnel being removed, the coee is ready to serv Having thus described my invention what Iclaimisz- 1. In a device of the character described, a Huid container, means for supporting the fluid container, a funnel adapted to be supported Within the container having Within its bowl an upwardly projecting annular flange encircling the tubular stem of the funnel, a strainer located within the stem of the funnel, and means for-securing the strainer to the annular ange of the funnel.

2; ln a device of the character described,

V a iuid container, means for supporting the fluid container, a funnel adapted to be supported 'within the container having within 'its bowl an upstanding annular ange encircling the hollow stem of the funnel, a removable Strainer located lwithin the stem of the funnel, and an expansible ring for securing theI strainer to the annularriiange of the funnel.

ln testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
